My favorite way that I've kept active throughout quarantine is by going on walks and runs! Going outside of your home is a great way to clear your head and get out of the same rooms that you've been in for the past 3 months. If you don't like to run, walking is great for your body! Listening to a podcast or some of your favorite summer time jams while taking a walk can feel so relieving.
As you start running, you may be thinking to yourself that you don't like to run or you don't know how to build up stamina, but do not worry! You don't need to be a marathon runner starting out -- start off with just half a mile, or whatever you feel you can do. Another option is to walk for 5 minutes and then run for 5, so that way you have a little cool down in between runs.
I was never a runner until my junior year of high school, when my friends asked me to join the cross country team and I decided to join because I figured it would be something fun and could help me get fit. It was probably one of the best decisions I made in my high school career. So just remember -- it is never too late to start!
If you don't want to leave your house, don't worry because there are still ways to stay fit! I know that my allergies can get super awful this time of year and I don't want to leave my home, so I decide to do some at home workouts.
One person on YouTube that does great workouts is Chloe Ting. She is very well known for her two-week workouts that result in a toned tummy. However, she does many other great workouts, like a standing abs workout, which is my favorite! I do not have access to a workout mat so I do not tend to do a lot of sitting exercises. Lucky for me, she offers such a variety of workouts that can please anyone's needs! Chloe has such a great attitude throughout the entire workout and has some pretty good music in the background that keeps you motivated.
Being stuck at home due to the global pandemic is not ideal, but you can take this time to create your ideal body! With hard work and motivation, you can do anything you set your mind to. Take this time to do things that make you happy about your environment and yourself!
